Minister, thank you very much for being here today, and thank you for the process you've introduced. Thank you also for acknowledging the past work that's been done, because many people have been engaged on this for a long period of time. I agree with you that everybody around this table would like to see real progress made on it.
I have many questions and only five minutes, so let me follow up with questions on consultation. I appreciate your desire to move along and make something happen, and I understand that Ms. Grant-John will be guiding the process. My concern is--I think it's one shared by others--that the process be real and do justice to the issue and not be aborted. Like you, I don't expect there will be unanimity either, but I think the process is as important for the success of the outcomes. That was my comment.
Has INAC done any studies or had any materials prepared as to custom land allotment when it comes to matrimonial real property? I'm interested to know that. I'm interested to know what you're considering doing with section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, whether you're moving forward on that.
I am assuming from your comments—and maybe it's a wrong assumption—that you will not be looking at interim provincial legislation as an outcome for matrimonial real property. I would welcome some comments on that as well, and if we have time, I have more questions.
